Oct 27, 2009 12oz bottle from Supreme Liquors, Cambridge MA. Southern Tier do make some extraordinary ales but, frankly, this is not one of them. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with it. In fact it is a perfectly pleasant, easy drinking pale ale. Gold in colour with a slight haze. Fluffy head but diminishes quite quickly. Mild tropical fruit aroma. Fruity again, with a touch of biscuity malt, in the flavour. Although it is fairly sweet on the palate initially, the aftertaste is fairly dry. The hops are quite restrained. Has rather a British bitter feel about it. Decent yes, extraordinary no.

Oct 26, 2009 Lightly hazy gold pour with a moderate, loose white head, temporary lace. Aroma is an interesting pairing of very floral hops with butterscotch. Flavor again fronts with a lot of fresh hop aroma, floral, citric, dank, some tobacco in there. Malts are more caramelly than butterscotchy in the mouth. Also a distinct cinnamon spiciness. Zesty, somewhat warm on the palate. I like it.

Oct 24, 2009 Golden pour with a one finger sudsy white head. Aroma is dark sugars, raisin, prune, smokey malt, and a nice resinous hop profile. Flavor is somewhat grainy with moderate toasty notes and some caramel. Hop character is quite nice- grass and citrus are most notable. Palate is way too thin, but finishes dry and mildly roasty. A malt oriented APA- unique but needs some polishing.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle. Hazy golden color with a large white head. Contains some particles. Soft flowery, hoppy aroma. This is also the initial flavor, with a faint citrus and malty backbone. It finishes slightly bitter but refreshing as well. Pretty well balanced brew.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottled 355ml. Courtesy of Bov. It pours a beautiful hazy golden beer with a lacing white head. Wonderful strong aroma of lychee, sweat, rose petals, pumpkin, cider, ginger and a lot of raspberry. Sweet flavor. Medium bodied. The raspberry component is very strong in the taste too. Subdued bitterness. Extremely fruity. Lychee, ginger and cider showing up. Sweet finish which is reminiscent of lychee and root beer. A beer with plenty of character. Thanks a lot Bov!
